LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Corporal Punishment in Schools.

Sir,—In your issue of the 20th inst., 1

self ‘‘ Teacher,” warmly advocates the use of corporal punishment in public schools, As this is a subject which interests pupils as ‘vell as teachers, I suppose a few remarks from one of the former class will not be taken amiss.

‘* Teacher” may have had, ashe says, long experience in his profession, and he may have been tolerably successful too, but

views on the subject he undertakes to dis cuss. Ho not only claims that corporal punishment is an absolute necessity in the schoolroom, but proceeds to explain to what extent the teacher is justified in adminis- tering. To support. the position he has taken, he quotes Mr. Fitzgerald as having expressed the opinion that ‘* the teacher is autocrat of the schoolroom, that a refrac- tory pupil is liable to corporal punishment, and that only when such punishment is inflicted to the extent of permanent bodily injury, does the teacher become liable

to an action for common assault. ,, This may be Mr. Fitzgerald’s honest opinion, but it does not necessarily

follow that it is correct in principle. Un- der such a ruling as this, grave abuses of power might be indulged in with impunity ; the most barbarous cruelties might be in- | flicted without causing perma ent bodily in- jury. Iam not aware that there is any ex-| press statute governing this case, but if there were, I hardly helieve it would dele- | gate such extraordinary powers to teachers, |

observe that a correspondent, signing him-

I believe he entertains rather extreme.

the home of every setiler that lay in their path; the memory of the murdered pioneers and of priests slaughtered while kneeling beside the bleeding forms of their butcher- ed followers, not to speak of the brave men whose life blood first stained the snows at Duck Lake, and of their gallant comrades- in-arms that perished from that day till \the troubles were ended by the defeat and capture of Big Bear —all combine to prevent the entertainment of any idea that fora second time merey should be extended to thia man. Riel had -no stake in the country ; he had, if we are to believe some of his friends, become a citizen of the United States, or taken steps to that end, and did not share in any way the grievances, real or imaginary, that the Metis felt themselves to labor under. True, it was at the request of these people that he came from Montana to head their agitation, but it was under him that that agitation was carried to longtha they never contemplated—to rebel- lion and bloodshed. Ue was first and fore- most responsible for that bloodshed, and should now be left to suffer the pevalty of his great crime. The case of the sentenced half-breeds and of the Indians is different ; they were ignorant of the seriousness of the course they had entered upon, and had

been filled with false ideas by thoir self- opinioned leader. Were th@ amplest mercy extended to these people,

who have already beep made to suffer immeasurably through the misguided course they were induced to enter upon. no shock would, we believe, be done to public senti- ment, and if-in the early future the announcement were made that clemency had been extended to them, their leader having expiated his erimes, the punishment they have already undergone wiil, we ven-
